Admittedly, it's Full of Gibberish, Over-the-Top Hospitality and Self-Help Jargon. However, I Honestly Love Meghan's Festive Episode.

No considering the season, it's always hunting season for commentary on the Duchess of Sussex's TV show, With Love, Meghan. Critics, from seasoned journalists to online pundits, have hardly ever agreed so completely as when enthusiastically shredding the lifestyle show's earlier episodes apart. The prevailing view held that a more egregious regal scandal had hardly ever taken place than the notorious pretzel-bagging incident.

Presently, in the spirit of a holiday maverick, she has returned once again with a "Christmas Special" (aka a Christmas special). However on this occasion, it's different. The familiar ingredients audiences anticipate – meaningless jargon salads, intense hospitality – are still present, but framed of a Christmas special, suddenly it all makes sense. The elements have slid perfectly; it's a perfect snow storm.

By this point, Meghan is like the eccentric aunt at the typical holiday get-together – dispensing unasked-for guidance, and contributing the periodic peculiar declaration. ("I love spinach!" … "A tradition has to have a beginning." … "A tree is part of my memory and love of the holiday season.") She's an interesting figure, but her aura is known and strangely comforting. And she appears pleased; she's inflicting any harm.

She knows her all subtle gestures, word and gaze will be dissected and judged, but nonetheless looks carefree and serenely untroubled.

It could be this is the only time in history where that clichéd phrase – "Pay no mind, it's only envy" – might be true. The reason is, you know what?, all aspects in Meghan's Holiday Celebration honestly feels charming. Yes, it's all painfully excessive, nonsense and extravagant – but isn't that exactly what the holiday season is for? And the advice she gives might be absurd, but the walk she's walking appears to be beautifully curated.

Anything she sets her mind to, she accomplishes with panache. Her cooking looks tasty, the festive decoration she makes is stunning, her gifts are almost too pretty to tear into. Nothing is average or ugly – even the way she ties her kitchen garment is stylish and elegant. She doesn't throw a meal in the oven, it "takes a twirl", and she wraps wrapping paper like an origami guru. She also seems to be thoroughly enjoying herself from start to finish. How could any hate-watcher not be charmed, overcome by festive joy and left with a powerful yearning for crafted festive snaps or a vegetable display where broccoli is positioned in the likeness of a Christmas ring?

Meghan was once an actress for a living, of course, but even so, after the intensity of attention she has endured since she became involved with Prince Harry, the love child of Meryl Streep and Judi Dench would struggle to act this authentically. Her refusal to change or even moderate her persona, despite it being so persistently, internationally ridiculed, is weirdly comforting. In our uncertain world, here is something we can count on: Meghan will stay true to form, whatever happens. We will forever know where we are with her.

If you're still not buying her message, a point that will undoubtedly come as a comfort: you aren't required to. We don't have the draft anymore, and were it to return, it would be unlikely to include watching With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, on the other hand, you decide to tune in and are overcome with envy about her idyllic Christmas, all is not lost either. Be you a royal or a data administrator, no kid completely grasps the time and energy their mother does in the holiday season. So you can console yourself by picturing Archie and Lilibet's faces when they reveal a calligraphy note that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a handcrafted holiday countdown, instead of a candy.
